hi sanmariecom. I owned and discarded the Tchaikovsky/Rachmaninoff concertos by Richter/Mravinsky/Sanderling/Lenningrad Orchestra on a Melodiya CD. Sound quality was terrible. I was wondering about the audio source of the video you uploaded. Is it by Urania? That's the only other CD I know of with this material, and the sound of your video is much better than the Melodiya CD. If YES, then I would probably buy the Urania CD.
This preformance is my all time favorite of this great piano concerto. I first heard it when I was a child; I loved it then and I love it even more now. Many years have passed by, and along the rough and meandering road of life, I heard every performance of this music and I can here confess that, to my ears, this rendition has never been surpassed and probably will never be ...
A good case could be made for this also to be rated the number one all time best. Music being subjective-I salute Richter,Horowitz,Kissin,Van Cliburn ,Szell,Mravinsky,Von Karajan,Kondrasian,and even Toscanini. They were all brilliant and had something profound to say. Bravo to all these great geniuses.
this concert shows real russian spirit ...

Peut-être le plus célèbre de tous les concertos pour piano. RICHTER le plus célèbre interprète de l'oeuvre !!

This is a bit fast compared to other versions. But a lot more powerful.

My absolute favorite recording. Splendid!
Expressive, lyrical, spontaneous,... and in terms of virtuosity more than expectable. :)
